Solve for x.

[tex] -15 = 22x + 7 [/tex]

A. [tex] x = -\frac{4}{11} [/tex]

B. [tex] x = -1 [/tex]

Answer :

Let's solve the equation [tex]\(-15 = 22x + 7\)[/tex] step by step:

1. First, we'll move 7 from the right side of the equation to the left side by subtracting 7 from both sides:
[tex]\[
-15 - 7 = 22x
\][/tex]

2. Simplifying the left side gives us:
[tex]\[
-22 = 22x
\][/tex]

3. To solve for [tex]\(x\)[/tex], we'll divide both sides of the equation by 22:
[tex]\[
x = \frac{-22}{22}
\][/tex]

4. Simplifying this expression, we find:
[tex]\[
x = -1
\][/tex]

Therefore, the solution to the equation [tex]\(-15 = 22x + 7\)[/tex] is [tex]\(x = -1\)[/tex]. Additionally, another possible solution given is [tex]\(x = -\frac{4}{11}\)[/tex]. These are the values for [tex]\(x\)[/tex] that satisfy the equation.
